![]() ![]() This design is slightly for webcore pistons when controlling a group of bulbs. Also, if I turn on my “Upstairs lights” alexa group, the simulated switch shows On (and Open). So now I can “Turn on” my virtual lamp device, and that triggers the on routine within alexa, and turning it off does the same. Smart tilt door sensors can add up in cost depending on how many doors you have and they are not always reliable. SmartThings_MyQ has a nice feature that allows the ability to add smart tilt sensors to a MyQ controlled garage door for monitoring open/closed status. SmartThings_MyQ SmartApp works great to open and close the door, but it does not have the ability to natively monitor the MyQ open/closed status. MyQ for LiftMaster and Chamberlain is not directly supported by Smartthings, so the only way to make it work is by using a SmartApp called SmartThings_MyQ created by brbeaird. See brbeaird for newer feature updates to help support SmartThings and MyQ. Please do not use this guide for any functional usage. Requirements previously used in this guide are no longer supported. How to: SmartThings_MyQ SmartApp using MyQ Sensors with IFTTT How-To I see the Alexa Routines can see my physical contact switches, so I’d assume a simulated contact switch would work the same as a motion sensor, but I haven’t tested this. ![]() Is this making sense? Is there something more specific I should say about this process? The downsides to this is that you don’t get color or brightness control in Smartthings, and it’s dependent on Amazon’s cloud. Repeat the previous step for the motion clear event “When this happens” Simulated Motion Sensor Detects Motion, turn on Feit bulb In the alexa phone app, hit the Hamburger -> Routines Here’s roughly what I did in my words:Ĭreate a “Simulated Motion Sensor” in smartthings graph in the devices tabĬreate automations/pistons to set the motion state of the sensors as desired (I’ve got a wall switch, and motion switch)Īdd the Smartthings skill to your I’m doing what JDRoberts suggested at the top of this thread. I didn’t continue the setup or flashing at this time, and didn’t continue smart life software either (didn’t work as well as the native Fiet app with the Feit bulbs). So now I can control a single light bulb in four different areas for the same cost as controlling a single area through a smart switch.Īt some point I may create a V2.0 Assistant Relay post that lists out what to do and not to do to speed up integration for others.ĭo you have any additional info on this setup? Which if you think about it a quality smart switch will cost you about $40 a piece. And actually it was my son’s and he didn’t use it so I am paying him about half to take it off his hands. I can now control my Feit bulbs…all for the cost of my time and an $80 PI. After researching I came across the V2.0 Assistant Relay ST app so I implemented it on a Raspberry Pi…works really well. Then I said wouldn’t it be cool if you could send a command via HTTP to Google Assistant and have that translate the text to an actual command to control devices. Then I started thinking wouldn’t it be great to be able to create a generic driver that would control other WiFi devices from ST. I started going down the path of developing a purpose built driver from ST for these devices. …waiting.So after combing the forums and web for several weeks I am able to control my cheap Feit RGBW bulbs. (how about offload to NAS, or an open API?). Show us that YOU are invested in your product by offering what you said you would, and continuing to improve on the product in a timely manner. Offering this is merely necessary to compete, and still doesn’t provide much incentive vs investment. Ring offers us some very basic ones, such as being able to key off of motion detection, then I can use SmartThings or whatever for the TTT part, and I do. IFTTT support is one of those incentives. 5 years or more? So another incentive is needed. Rich notifications may include a title, image, and link that opens. ![]() While your products are reasonably priced, there’s no real payoff for moving away from the subscription. This action will send a rich notification to IFTTT mobile widget installed on your devices. Hi Guys, I have a SmartThings Hub, about 40 Philips Hue bulbs (so far) and just fitted a new Yale Keyfree Connected lock with z-wave module all hooked up, fine. To replace my Ring Spotlight cams, and my doorbells is another large investment. I’m VERY eager and motivated to move away from the subscription model, and have local storage, but I need help. I, as I’m sure most other Ring users, have large investments in both the equipment and the subscriptions. ![]()
